It is not always easy for the outside world to recognize certain signs. If you don't know if someone is involved in gambling, how do you make the link between signaling and gambling? In the winter, for example, many people don't go outside anyway and you hardly see each other. At work you see each other every day, but you don't want to interfere too much with other people and certainly not with their private lives. Addressing someone about gambling behavior can be confrontational and this can also lead to angry, irritated reactions from the gambler.
It may be difficult to know if our friend has a gambling addiction, especially if we are not close to that person. But there should be signs we can identify just from their movements or a feeling of anxiety often shown by that person. But if it is our co-worker, it won't be easy to recognize the signs because we can't see them as often as possible, especially when we've returned home. But at least if he's our close friend, we can tell the signs. But those addicted to gambling may not know or feel anything is wrong with it.
Gambling was so difficult even a few years ago but now that it is very easy. Earlier it was easy to detect a gambler but now it is very difficult to do so. There is no scope to identify. When they gamble online at home, there is no sign of it. Many times they lose but try to hide that fact from everyone. But it is visible from the face of those who are addicted to gambling. I have also seen many gamblers who cannot identify themselves as an addicted gambler after being addicted to gambling.

Indeed, talking to a colleague about his recent behavior that seems like he is addicted to gambling could be offensive, but helping out in a polite way won't sound so horrible to the victim. It takes a gambling conversation to convert a gambler to play responsibly and the person can then become friends with his colleague. What matters is saving the player from being convulsive; it could ruin his career because he won't provide the best services anymore. Secondly, I know a friend that was saved from gambling through his girlfriend. It works if the addicted player is married or in a relationship instead of meeting them to complain about their gambling habit, their spouse can handle vividly the task of advising, and counseling the victim to change their habit. The victim needs to hear it from someone they trust. It's more effective this way than causing more misunderstanding.

It should actually be pretty easy imo. Never ask the person themselves, they'd most likely just deny it all the time, instead, look at the people surrounding the person and ask them instead. Ask them if he's been having a depressed atmosphere, if he's asking/taking on debts, if he's always frustrated, anything weird or odd that would make him seem or look crazy. They best know what's up. Even if you were a friend, I doubt you'd be the person closest to him all the time, it should be his/her work mates or family instead.

I would add that gambling increases the likelihood of having problems with family (spouse and children).
It could happen because the neglect of important matters (as you mentioned) and the fact a compulsive gambler could feel  too stressed or depressed to have a quality time with them, not even mentioning the possible loss of money intended to family expenses.
Just to add with this one, I don't think that the phrase "increases the likelihood" can be applied here because I believe that whenever you're gambling and you don't know how to control your urge on it, it's a 100% sure that you're relationship with your family will be affected.

I mean your savings might get depleted, your relative might do something bad if you have a relative that has a compulsive gambling disorder. Family problems in a gambler that has this kind of disorder is inevitable. This is the reason why I don't want to get addicted to gambling. As a family-oriented person, I don't want my relation with my family be destroyed just because of me getting addicted into gambling. Maybe there will be a time where these compulsive gamblers will soon realize their wrong decisions. There will be a where they will realize and think that "I just hope I didn't ever tried to gamble at all. This is the after effects of my decisions. My family is now gone."

Your argument is true, most of the time addicted gambler only realize the big mistake after they already ruined their lives, not just their own but also those who are close to them, family and a like will be affected with this addiction, better not to engage that much if you don't want to suffer in this same situation, gambling can use to kill some time but always knows you limitations.

Proper money managements and good overview with what you intend to achieve, your life is what you are risking if you failed to have that right control over this activity.

Shouldn't this be refere to sever gambling addictions case, where the gambler have tge urge to keep playing while losing heavily because explanation they both refer to the same way a gambler who is into excessive gamblingis also cal a gambling compulsion since their actions will be very...
 
actually it is not referral but a warning that if you let yourself to be compulsive gamblers? then you will become addicted meaning this is a just a beginning of addictions.
but what I wanted to say to you here? better to check your post each time because it seems that you mostly missed spelling and also the thought about the one you are quoting.
and the main objective of this post? never to let yourself become one either compulsive of addicted in gambler.
Number one sign for me is spending more then you intended to or should ever risk on the game.   Having an allocated budget for anything is a positive over blind spending,
completely agreed in those points mate, yeah spending allocated amount will be best for us all.

   Risking it all might be a common thing but if it leaves a person without anything left for food and other essentials even if they are ok later that week, I'd say thats a dangerous road to be walking down.  To rely purely on the gamble result is too extreme and puts the player in a position they are no longer in control.   Forget the risk, this attitude imo will lead to greater losses and poor gameplay it wont lead to a winning strategy imo.

As a friend, you can see changes in the behavior of a person.  You can also see the changes in how he spends his money and his financial status.  Often times compulsive gamblers lost all their savings, are full of debt, and even sell their items to have funds to play gambling games.  

Since gambling is related to money, the most easiest way to check if there is a sign of compulsive gambling is through his financial data.

Recovering normal game activity is difficult, but only if you are healthy is it possible to make changes, everyone goes through those points you mention, normal, healthy players and pathological or sick players.

The ability of each of these types of players mentioned in their perspective, is that the healthy player can no matter how long it takes him to find a way out, but the sick player never finds it.

So, in theory you can write a lot of advice here but putting it into practice is what determines the true type of player you are, seek help if you are not able to determine if you are a healthy or sick player, sometimes the sick believe that They are finding the way out, so a professional can determine it, pay for that consultation, that is my advice.

I absolutely agree with you about these people needing help, but I understand you have some gambling problems as well. Daily gambling is an indicator that you already have a gambling addiction and if you don't fight it, you can make it worse. I would try to change your gambling style if I were you. If you gamble less often you won't let the gambling addiction develop further, at least I have practiced this myself.

Players who have this pathology should be treated with psychologists, and really, although it may seem a bit harsh, the possible signs of these pathologies are the responsibility of the person.

Like addiction, these are problems that the casino is not to blame, nor will it ever be, because the casino does not force people to play, people make their own decision, what happens is that there are some people who do not They have a very defined personality and tend to fall into this type of problem, but compulsive gambling is something that the person must control and call attention to as urgently as possible.

These signs are for an addicted gambler in the gambling field. Addicted gambler always have spot in which where he has  gang of other gamblers who are always encouraging one another not to give up the gambling games. Increasing the amount of money so the determination that they will win big when they gamble big. Gamblers never give up, they always have the hope to win the lost ones. Real gamblers forget what they have planned to do in the next minutes because the brain has been configured.

I do no think that it is a sign of being an addict to have people around them as gamblers and encouraging them to continue gambling.  Gambling addiction is all about a person having an uncontrollable urge to gamble and not people around them encouraging them to gamble.

A sign of compulsive gambling is more on a person despite of losses keeps on gambling not because they wanted to chase their losses but rather because they can't stop gambling since there is already this uncontrollable urges.

Because they believe that they can easily get what they had lost once they wi the jackpot prize, it makes them a false hope that. leads them addiction,  we should learn to be part of a good circle, we can choose of course, with them we can grow our discipline holding and managing money, I knew some group of people in real life that helping each other not to be addicted and they are doing sport betting only for finals so the anxiety is not that frequent.

3) You try to gamble more in attempt to recover loss
This is what we know, we mostly chase our losses when we gamble and it's not going to help us stop when there are still losses that need to be covered.
What we aim is to at least recover those losses that we've made and we also know where it is going. Instead of recovering those, what's happening is that we're adding more losses and that's not resulting in good.
We only realize it at the end when we've done so much and we almost got nothing left anymore in our balances.
^ I have done this before and that is why I repeatedly advise them to avoid this possible problem as much as they can, all they have to do is to put self-control so that thinking about chasing loss will not happen. This is also could be a sign of a compulsive gambler and it is not good if you will not correct yourself from the start. When I have continuous losses I usually take a break for a while and then come back when I can get over those consecutive losses. Because I know the more you will urge yourself to take cover losses, you will probably be out of your mind and can't concentrate on gambling, the result could be massive losses. Always put in our mind to be a responsible gamblers.
The pattern is obvious to us that are aware of this. There's really no way to go and we'll just end up being disappointed if we're not careful to watch out for our emotions.
Losing money will also make us lose our emotions which will result in losing more. That's why we need to look at ourselves when we're in such a situation because it's not really going to show a good ending.
You like the idea of chasing but you'll never like the result of it if you've done that several times and you've come up with nothing.

Would you like to add to these signs ?
I have friends who are compulsive gamblers and one thing I have observed about them is how they somehow always have the money to gamble even when they complain about not having money for other certain important bills like feeding, clothing etc. Compulsive gamblers can chose not to eat or reduce their meals, to cutting internet subscription, cutting television subscription, and refuse to get new clothes when necessary just so they can have money to gamble with. A compulsive gambler in chronic and severe cases can get aggressive when they cannot gamble or do not have the money to.


If true, this is more painful than with my experience. Your friend really needs immediate help and what happened to him, he is out of control and can't even think rationally. at least, as friends. the first aid that you did, invited him to talk and then advised him. second, talk to his closest family. third, take it to the experts. at least, you have made efforts to help him get free from the addiction trap. even though it is difficult, it even takes an indeterminate amount of time.

I can feel it, because we also have the same experience. however, if there is no will from within himself. apparently, it will be very difficult to persuade him to seek treatment at a rehabilitation center. your friend's story, can be an illustration for all of us to only make gambling a fun means of entertainment, nothing more and with the condition that money can afford to lose.

Those are bad signs. Whoever those friends of yours are, I think they badly need some help from people who they could talk to or perhaps urge them to change their habits. There's a chance he will try to steal or scam their friends or relatives just so he could provide his thirst to gamble.
I gamble daily but I never had this kind of moment yet.
I hate losing and I get mad when the team I am betting on loses but it's normal because it's the feeling of being wrong in your predictions and analysis.
But after an hour or two, I usually just forget about it and move on. There are those who cannot absorb their failures and they tend to force their way by chasing the losses and this is where it gets wrong.
